NEWThe JawAligner system

Plaster-free articulation of prototyped models – Easy to design, easy to produce!



The JawAligner	Easy to design	Easy to produce
The JawAligner system consists of several magnetic spacer plates for a plaster-free articulation of prototyped models (printed or milled).	Models can be designed in the Model Maker module of the Zirkonzahn.Modifier software adding the most suitable attachments …	… and then fabricated by means of the pre-configured P4000 system for 3D printing or with Zirkonzahn’s milling units.



Different heights	Inclined and straight	Magnetic attachment
The JawAligner is available in different heights, permitting the articulation of models independently of their height.	There exist two JawAligner sets: inclined and straight, which allow to articulate models according to the occlusal plane inclination. In combination with special accessories, they can also be used for articulators of other manufacturers.	The model base is attached to the JawAligner through magnetic metal plates. According to the model weight, two metal plates can be used, showing lower or higher magnetic strength.

ZIRKONZAHN'S ARTICULATORS COMPATIBLE WITH THE JAWALIGNER



PS1 Articulator	GS1 Articulator	Mini-Arti ZS1
Physical and virtual articulator designed with special geometries to simulate patient-specific rotating, sliding and closing jaw movements. In Zirkonzahn scanners, models can be scanned together with the PS1 and then transferred into the virtual articulator.	Articulator for plastering models and checking opening and closing movements, specially conceived to protect the PS1 articulator from plaster residues and water. A specific calibration key creates a synchronisation with the PS1. If desired, this articulator can also be used in combination with the JawAligner system, without using plaster.	Small articulator conceived for checking the occlusion of small bridges and single crowns, which can also be used for full-arch models. Opening, closing, protrusion, retrusion and laterotrusive movements can also be simulated. For milled as well as printed models.

WORKFLOW WITH THE JAWALIGNER

The hardening process of plaster might cause deformations to the printed model. For this reason, we recommend the use of the JawAligner for printed models articulation.

Step 1

To use the JawAligner, first of all choose the articulator in the Model Maker module of the Zirkonzahn.Modifier software.

Step 2

Choose the JawAligner set and the most suitable plate, depending on model size and articulator used (PS1, or other articulators from other manufacturers).

Step 3

Set JawAligner PS1 Straight: suitable for Zirkonzahn’s PS1 articulator and articulators of other manufacturers. The set comprises six spacer plates with different heights – high, medium, low, for the upper and lower jaw.

Step 4

Set JawAligner PS1 Inclined: with an inclination of 5°, it is suitable for Zirkonzahn’s PS1 articulator and articulators of other manufacturers. The set is composed of four spacer plates – two plates for dental arch with two different heights.

Step 5

Using special accessories, both JawAligner sets are compatible with all Artex articulators of 126 mm height, with SAM 2P, 2PX and 3 articulators (not with +15 versions) as well as with KaVo. The range of compatible articulators is constantly expanded.

Step 6

If models have been designed using the PS1 virtual articulator and the Set JawAligner PS1 Inclined, they can also be fixed in the Mini-Arti ZS1 once milled or printed: this is possible by means of the Set JawAligner ZS1. The set consists of four spacer plates – two for each dental arch – recreating the same heights of the JawAligner PS1 Inclined.

Step 7

Depending on model requirements, the spacer plates can be combined with each other to save resin during model printing.

Step 8

After choosing the base, the software creates the corresponding attachment in the model.

Step 9

Possibility to set parameters between spacer plate and model (e.g. you can create beveled surfaces, increase the base thickness, adapt the attachment area or compensate possible layer imprecisions)

Step 10

At this stage, the model can be printed with the 3D P4000 System or milled in Zirkonzahn’s milling units.

Step 11

Once the model is ready, the corresponding magnetic plate has to be inserted into the attachment. According to the model weight, two different metal plates are available: 1.5 mm and 1 mm.

Step 12

Models are finally attached to the JawAligner in the articulator to simulate patient's jaw movements.

Step 13

Note: to calibrate the articulators, specific kits are available, containing Adjusting Key and corresponding Zero Adjusting Pin. Depending on the articulator, additional accessories might be necessary.

IMPROVED COMMUNICATION

Dental models designed with the JawAligner system can be articulated in both PS1 and Mini-Arti ZS1 articulators, as the heights of the JawAligner ZS1 recreates the same of the JawAligner PS1 Inclined. The Mini-Arti ZS1 is the ideal tool a dental technician can use to deliver or discuss with the dentist any kind of dental job produced from intraoral scanners. This means this articulator stands out not only for its suitability, but also for being a useful professional tool for improved clinic-laboratory communication.
